first off thanks for all the help guys with removing the cylinder head and now i have another question
it looks like two cylinders are in the same position is that what it looks to you? whats thecasue/ how to fix?
or am i just paranoid

lol be easy on him ,

its fine theres nothing to worry about, while u have the heads off get some seafoam and put some on a rag and wipe off the tops of the pistons, let it soak in and then wipe them off again and all that carbon buildup will come off

 

sorry !!! , just don't beat them down to make them lower. you might want to get that coolant removed and wipe a little oil on the cylinder wall.

 

I agree wipe down the cylinder walls and try to get any pieces of gasket out that you may have gotten in there. Get all that gunk outta the lifters and that area, thats probly just from some one not changing the oil over time. And id definitly change your oil or at least make sure non of that anit freeze made its way past your rings and when into the engine oil.

Dont worrie theres nothing wrong with your pistons and where there at in the cylinder. There offset and none of those are the same, if the other head was off youd see that there are matching pistons in relation to where they are in the cylinder but the difference is what stroke there on. Example is cy,# 1 and 4 will be at top dead center at the same time but they will not be on the same compression stroke. Only one is gonna fire at a time.

 

I cant know if you can see it but the front left #1 and the middle right side #4 are at the same place in the cylinder... understand, there just off set a little. Be carful at letting anything fall into the head that you didnt take off, the intake ports, and be carful arround that dizzy opening. You dont wana drop stuff in there, my engine was completly covered unless i took a pic, but when working i covered every hole there was.

 

yeah i was thinking it was that they were on diffrent strokes but just wanted to make sure, as far as the coolent and cleaning everything up i have already done that. oh and yes i keep it all wrapped up and every hole plugged

 

Its a 4 stroke motor, intake, compression, power, exhaust.
When #1 is at tdc, it might been on the begining of the power stroke.
While at the same time #4 will be at the begining of the intake stroke.
Also one of those piston is going up when the other is going down.
That why the cam turns at half the crank speed.

 

If you are going to have it apart for any length of time, I also suggest a light coat of oil on the cylinders, and put the lifters in some oil as well, engine parts can rust if they sit out long enough without oil on them.
And that is perfectly normal, if your pistons weren't where they would supposed to be...you would know, lol....
